PCYS Announces the
"Volunteer of the Quarter"
Congratulations to
Shawn Chiusano, the
Payne County Youth
Services "Volunteer of
the Quarter" for October
through December 2011.
Shawn donated 54.25
hours of his time during
this time period.
Shawn started volun-
teering on April 1,2011,
but had donated goods
and money prior to that
time. Before coming
to Stillwater, he was
involved with donations
and volunteering at some
places in Lawton, includ-
ing their youth shelter.
When asked what moti-
vated him to begin vol-
unteering with the youth,
Shawn commented, "I
believe a simple kind-
ness can alter someone's
life. Anyone can donate
goods and money, but
showing kindness takes
an actual human con-
nection. Anyone can
do it withopt any special
talents or abilities. You
don't have to be the
disciplinarian or parent,
you're there to simply
show them that they are
a valuable person and
they have intrinsic worth
that goes far beyond the
circumstances they have
come from."
Shawn interacts with
the youth through play-
mg pool. hands-on arts
activities, outside activi-
ties (throwing a ball. fris-
bie, soccer, roller blad-
ing, basketball, football,
tag), watching tv, just to
name a few.
